The latest new addition to the Cake Scene (of which we are active participants!) is Pudding Pantry. Their new premises have opened next to TK Maxx, near Trinity Square. It's an industrial-style unit, but this hasn't stopped them from making it feel really cosy and homely.

The cafe itself has big sofas, comfy chairs and is always welcoming. I have visited here now on several occasions and their standard of service and quality of goods have never faltered.

Pudding Pantry came about because the, now owners, worked for different places all over the city and basically wanted to do things their way. Who wouldn't? Our high street is filled with huge coffee conglomerates and small businesses are fast disappearing from our lives. So they clubbed together and started Pudding Pantry. And do things their way they have!

During our last visit we ordered a hot chocolate, a chai latte and a chocolate brownie to share. Oh My Wow. All of it was perfection. The brownie was perfectly baked - a little gooey but not too gooey, with a nice crust on top. I could have eaten the whole pan!

They also serve "proper" meals alongside their offering of cakes, and these are also exquisite. They are well-presented, well-cooked lunchtime offerings. They have now started opening as a "bistro" in the evenings so it is in my diary to go back and sample their nocturnal fare!

Keep on keeping on Pudding Pantry, we love you and your delicious cake-y offerings.
